site then O.K. given by construction engineer will be treated as final if anything
otherwise is not observed. If anything, otherwise be found, the O.K. card shall not
be signed by him and ask the construction engineer/Agency for necessary
rectification before starting the work.

Subsequently, O.K. card should refer to defects removed, if pointed out previously
in O.K. card and counter reference to the previous check and should be singed of
Okayed.

change, the rate in the Bill of Quantities shall be used to
calculate the value of the Variation. If the cost per unit of
quantity changes, or if the nature or timing of the work in

by the Contractor’s not having given early warning or not

47. Tax 47.1 The Project Manager shall adjust the Contract Price if
taxes, duties, and other levies are changed between the date
28 days before the submission of bids for the Contract and
the date of the last Completion certificate. The adjustment
shall be the change in the amount of tax payable by the

currency of the Employer’s country specified in the PCC,
the exchange rates used for calculating the amounts to be
paid shall be the exchange rates stated in the Contractor’s

Adjustment only if provided for in the PCC. If so provided, the
amounts certified in each payment certificate, before
deducting for Advance Payment, shall be adjusted by
applying the respective price adjustment factor to the
payment amounts due in each currency. A separate formula
of the type specified below applies to each Contract
currency:
Pc = Ac + Bc Imc/Ioc
where:
Pc is the adjustment factor for the portion of the
Contract Price payable in a specific currency “c.”
Ac and Bc are coefficients32specified in the PCC,
representing the nonadjustable and adjustable
portions, respectively, of the Contract Price payable
in that specific currency “c;” and
Imc is the index prevailing at the end of the month being
invoiced and Ioc is the index prevailing 28 days before
Bid opening for inputs payable; both in the specific
currency “c.”

32
The sum of the two coefficients Ac and Bc should be 1 (one) in the formula for each currency. Normally,
both coefficients shall be the same in the formulae for all currencies, since coefficient A, for the
nonadjustable portion of the payments, is a very approximate figure (usually 0.15) to take account of
fixed cost elements or other nonadjustable components. The sum of the adjustments for each currency
are added to the Contract Price.

Page | 221
Section IX – Particular Conditions of Contract

49.2 If the value of the index is changed after it has been used in
a calculation, the calculation shall be corrected and an
adjustment made in the next payment certificate. The index
value shall be deemed to take account of all changes in cost
due to fluctuations in costs.

50. Retention 50.1 The Employer shall retain from each payment due to the
Contractor the proportion stated in the PCC until
Completion of the whole of the Works.
50.2 Upon the issue of a Certificate of Completion of the Works
by the Project Manager, in accordance with GCC Sub-
Clause 57.1, half the total amount retained shall be repaid
to the Contractor and half when the Defects Liability Period

Bank or persons appointed by the Bank to address specific matters related to investigations/audits, such as evaluating the veracity of
an allegation of possible Fraud and Corruption, through the appropriate mechanisms. Such activity includes but is not limited to:
